Today is a very exciting day for two reasons. We are off today to have a bit of a crafty shop at the Make It Farnborough Show, woohoo i just love this show and go every year. Oh and it gets better... later on tonight we are off to see Miranda Hart Live on our stand up show in Bournemouth. I just love her and wanted to go since she announced it so i am so overly excited today! Back to crafting...today i have two cards that i made for Quick Cards Magazine.
For these cards i used the uber cute Penny Black Homemade Stamp Set. I coloured the little mice with my Copics and the papers are a digi download from etsy. I simply added some lace, ribbon, pearls. gems & a resin flower. I will be back tomorrow with my other two cards that i made for this feature.

Fabulous Friends

Hello Readers :)
I am back as promised with my second Art Deco card that i made for Making Cards Magazine. It was featured in last months magazine so you may have seen them by now. I love making this simple quick makes, i love the style & images and very on trend at the moment.
For this card again i used the Art Deco Ultimate Die Cut & Paper Pack by Papermania. I used the decoupage, papers and sentiment from this pack. I also used the XCut Floral Flourishes - which cut like a dream and go perfectly with this collection. The gems are also from this collection too. I love it when everything coordinates so well.

Botanica Birthday

Hello Lovely Readers :)
Today I have a card to share with you that I made for my mother in law's birthday which is today. I have been chokka block with work this week so this was a quick one i whipped up last night. I love the one of the new collections by Craftwork Cards called Botanica it's gorgeous and i knew just want i wanted to do...
I planned this card around one of the background papers. I distressed the edges then decoupaged the  leaves to make them more 3d. I also added glossy accents onto the flowers to make them shine. I also added lots of glitter to each of the other flowers & leaves and also around the sentiment - you can't tell in the picture sadly. The butterflies are cut out from one of the background papers and are glittered. I simply added some natural tape & mounted it onto kraft card.

 I would like to enter this card into the following challenges...

Penny Black & More - Make It Sparkle
Dream Valley Challenges - Vintage
Papertake Weekly - Lovely Layers

Crafty Bargain Shopping!

Hello Peeps,
Hope you are all enjoying the weekend so far we have had glorious sunshine here even though it was still a little chilly & windy. We had a lovely family walk, in the end we walked about 4 miles with our little doggy was lots of fun though now my legs ache! I haven't got a card to show you today instead i thought i would show you my latest crafty bargains... sequins!!!
Look at this little lot! I love sequins at the moment and i have been looking for some for ages. These were an absolute bargain, the big tubs have four different sections each with a different colour. The best part is they were only £1.49, bargain! The little packs were only a £1 too. All from The Range.

I will be back tomorrow with my latest card :)

Angelica Cupcake

Hello Peeps,
Today is half term treat day for my girls so we are off to pizza hut then monkey bizness (big indoor play area!) so i will make this quick today :) Today's card features the latest collection from Crafters Companion called Angelica & Adam - isn't she just super cute....
For this card i simply used the Angelica & Adam CD Rom. The image is from the decoupage section and all the papers are from the cd too. I didn't actually do the whole decoupage as i only really wanted one extra layer. The lace is actually a square doily that i picked up from a show ages ago. I hope i can find some more of these as it's nice to have a doily other than round ones. There is also a lot of glitter on the topper, i just love making girly, pink glittery cards. I also added some paper flowers, gems, ribbon & a die cut sentiment. A pretty quick card really :)

I would like to enter this into the following challenges...

Sending Smiles

Hello Peeps :)
I am back today with my latest creation for My Mums Craft Shop. I have got a right old big pile of lovely new stuff to use so i thought i would ink up my new Mama Elephant Stamps and how cute are they? I kept it very clean & simple...
For this card i used the Mama Elephant Up & Away Stamp Set and also the matching Up & Away Dies. I coloured them up with my beloved Copics and popped the monkey & balloons up on 3d foam pads to make them a bit more 3d. All i added was some plain card & kraft card.

Hope you like my clean & simple make today i am never very confident with them!

Mirabelle Love

Hello Lovely Readers :)
I am back with my MMCS latest creation in our week's theme of love/valentines. I decided go go for some of the gorgeous new Mirabelle Collection to use for this weeks card. These images really are so beautiful and even more stunning in real life. Here's what i came up with...
So for this card i used the Mirabelle 6x6 Paper Pad & Decoupage Pad. I also used some of the Lace & Raffia. I added a few other bits too. This is really glittery in real life so i didn't want to go too overboard but blimey is it heavy! The papers in this range are such good quality and some are glittered and embossed - similar to first edition ones!

Exeter Craft Stash

Hello Peeps :)
So last week you may remember me saying i was hopefully going to the craft show at Exeter. Well i did manage to get to go and had a lovely time. I had my youngest with me so wasn't there for too long but i did manage to get a few bits & pieces. I thought you may like to see some piccies...
So here is my lot of basic stuff i needed to get...
and lots of stamps & dies.

You may have spied some new pens, they are the Kasiercraft Fusion Pens i haven't tried those so thought i would have a go and see what they are like. I haven't got those colours in copics so we will see how they come out. I had a quick go last night and they seem similar to graph its so far. As always i got loads of stamps, well i do use them rather a lot being a stamper so why not! I can't wait to colour up those little mushroom houses they are so sweet!

Right i best go and find homes for all this new stuff, i am running out of crafty space!

Love Heart Flowers

Hello Peeps,
Hope you all had a lovely weekend. We had a fairly quiet one but still lots of fun!
Today i have a clean and simple Nitwits card to share with you, well it's sort of CAS style depending how simple you like them to be...
So for this card i used the latest Nitwit Collections Kit called Ladies & Gentleman. The papers and the heart flowers are from this kit and the sentiment is from the Lil Bits Kit. I simply printed off another batch of the hearts and popped them onto 3d foam to add a bit of dimension. I also added some ribbon, gems and i drew a border around the main image to create a border.
